An investigation on gastric emptying behavior of apple in the dynamic digestion model ARK® and its validation using MRI of human subjects – A pilot study

The employment of dynamic digestion models for understanding the digestion behavior of foods has become an emerging trend in recent times, as the in vivo techniques used currently pose safety and ethical concerns. On the other hand, it is equally important to validate the mentioned digestion models, so that they can aid in assessing various aspects of digestion. Hence, this study was planned to investigate the gastric emptying behavior of apples...
